Odd squeaking question with RC 2.5lift

[ksmit88]

Installed the RC 2.5 lift recently and I have a squeak that is driving me insane. The squeaking comes from the back left (drivers side) rear area. I have tried to add grease to everything I can and even took the wheel off and retorqued everything I could. This is probably difficult to diagnose over a post but I am loa8ng my mind. It squeaks any time the Jeep hits a bump at slow speed. It’s not the tire carrier or anything like that from what I can tell. Any common points that like to squeak? Thanks

I would disconnect the rear sway bar links and drive around the block.

Thanks for reply. Any idea of these rear links are incorrectly installed? I thought they were correct but now I'm wondering. Thanks

Looks ok, is there a sleeve in the upper one? The bushing looks to be squeezed pretty good(Maybe over tightened and crushed the sleeve?)
Hard to tell on the lower, but you have a large washer on the outside where the nut is? Same on the upper but on the bolt head side?

Let me take a better picture. There is a bushing in each upper and lower just hard to picture. I'm wondering if I need to flip the link upside down or if that wouldn't make a difference. Standby I'll upload a pic in a sec
